WOW! Where do I start? I think to call this a film is even an insult to the movie industry. I have to start by saying that this is one of the worst films you will ever see. The camera work is all over the place, it is jerky in parts and then still when it shouldn't be and what is with the rolling pan shot of the wall when the boy is talking to the cook? They say a story should have a beginning, a middle and an end...this film has none of them, just a garbled mess. And as for the acting (if you can call it that) well that was just the worst. The only redeeming actor was the young lad in what was actually his first acting performance. Although I don't actually know if he was any good or just better than the rest of the cast. Michelle Romano, who played Judy, was actually not terrible albeit a little wooden but she did know the basics of acting at least. Jimmy Scanlon was terrible and after seeing he has since wrote the script to a short film called "Methadone Mile" I suspect he may well have been high on heroin at the time of this movie, although even that wouldn't explain his behaviour. I would like to end with at least one redeeming factor for this film but there were none. I don't think I have ever been so excited to see the credits at the end of a movie. Please do not watch this film, you can actually find it on YouTube as a free movie so what I would recommend is to just flick to any point in the film and just see how bad things are. Truly amazed this was ever distributed.
